ContiPremiumContact 5

New tires are expected in early 2012. Currently information is extremely small. The tire is the successor of ContiPremiumContact 2.

Designed for sports cars and high speed. There are reduced rolling resistance and excellent performance on wet surfaces. It is also expected due to increased mileage reduced rolling resistance. Precise control and excellent driving stability. Short braking distances thanks to a number plate edges.

The ContiPremiumContactTM 5 - The perfect all-rounder which combines comfort and safety at the highest stage.

The ContiPremiumContactTM 5 is the new allround premium tire for vehicles in the compact, mid-size and full-size category. The allrounder boasts extremely short braking distances on dry and wet roads, low rolling resistance, safe driving properties and comfortable handling characteristics.
To realize all of this, Continental's development engineers imbued the ContiPremiumContactTM 5 with a host of improvements. The optimized 3D edges are what make for shorter braking distances than in the case of the predecessor model. Adapted from the ContiSportContactTM 5, the macro-blocks guarantee safe handling and better transmission of cornering forces. A new carcass – adapted this time from the ContiEcoContactTM 5 – enhances comfort and reduces the ContiPremiumContactTM 5's rolling resistance.

Also unbeatable in temperature curves.

Short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces.
Newly developed 3-D edges prevent the tread blocks from curling and deforming while braking, providing even pressure distribution. Additionally, block edges penetrate the water film on the road in wet conditions, similar to a windscreen wiper. This results in even shorter stopping distances on dry and wet surfaces in particular..

Perfect grip and optimal handling in every driving situation.

Computer-optimised macro blocks maximise the contact area of the tyre when strong lateral forces are present and when braking or changing lanes at high speed. In addition, they provide considerably improved tread stability – for perfect handling and outstanding grip, even in extreme driving situations.

Comfortable driving and improved rolling resistance.

The combination of a flexibly designed tyre shoulder and reinforced bead area ensures optimum flexibility with increased stability of the side wall. This results in noticeably more comfortable driving with perfect handling and improved rolling resistance.
